The song is about Charles Whitman who killed 17 people from the observation deck of the clock-tower at the University of Texas at Austin in 1966. He'd also murdered his mother and wife right before he went to the tower.
They discovered in his autopsy he had a brain tumor in the judgement section of his brain and was under the influence of amphetamines when he started his shooting spree.
